There are stories about an phone 17 Pro, but the release date for the new iPhone is good soon.
Although murmurs about an thin phone 17 Air have hogged a lot of the notice, the Pro types tend to include more upgraded functions. Rumors also mention an A19 Pro device and a 48-megapixel lens camera in addition to a shocking new color. And rumors also have it that the Pro could get the much-coveted scratch-resistant antireflective display ( more on all that later ).
And despite the fluffy timelines and details, US President Donald Trump’s tariffs also loom large in the wake of the zvonuri despre iPhone 17‘s hype.

Reputed redesign of the iPhone 17 Pro’s cameras and 48MP lens camera
The phone 17 Pro’s lens has been the subject of many rumored changes, most notably that Apple could include a parallel camera bar that spreads across the width of the phone. The” picture lens” with the front facing might also be upgraded.
In January, Bu posted a leaked photo on X suggesting that the phone may have a pill-shaped lens table that looks a lot like the cameras bar on Google’s Pixel 9 telefon.
That posed the question of whether the phone 17 Pro would stack the three cameras lenses in a dome shape or align them in a second row, as it did with the phone 16 Pro.
În februarie, Bu a postat Randări CAD despre ceea ce ar putea fi gama iPhone 17, iar Front Page Tech a împărtășit și ea iPhone 17 Pro renders in this video , on YouTube ( Apple filed a lawsuit against , YouTuber Jon Prosser, featured in this video, over leaks about the , iOS26 ):  ,

Both showed vertical cameras bars for the phone 17 Pro versions that keep the stacked glass layout.  ,
Pu a scris în martie that the phone 17 Pro and Pro Max may have a 48-megapixel lens back cameras, away from 12 cameras on the phone 16 Pro designs. That would mean that the wide-angle, ultrawide, and telephoto cameras on the iPhone 17 Pro models would have 48 megapixels.
And as for your selfies, analyst Jeff Pu reports that the front-facing camera will be upgraded from 12 megapixels on the iPhone 16 to 24 megapixels on all iPhone 17 models.
The iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max may also have a built-in video feature that allows you to record both the front and rear cameras at once, according to a report from Front Page Tech  in April. The feature would let you overlay a shot of your face over an outward-facing video.

Pro displays might upgrade to antireflective technology.
On July 16, MacRumors cited a “reliable source” in reporting that the Pro and Pro Max could get a scratch-resistant antireflective display, reversing itself on previous reports that Apple had to scrap plans due to scaling issues. The upgrade from Apple’s Ceramic Shield display could prove to be a draw for the Pro and Pro Max if the most recent rumor is accurate.  ,
The antireflective display is one of the , cele mai bune atribute , of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, according to CNET Managing Editor Patrick Holland, who has been reviewing phones for CNET since 2016.  ,
According to an article from Apple Insider in May, the iPhone 17 might have a bigger display than the iPhone 16.  , DSCC founder and Counterpoint Research VP Ross Young , posted on X that the base iPhone 17 will be 6.3 inches, an upgrade from the iPhone 16’s 6.1-inch display. The iPhone 17 would theoretically have the same screen size as the iPhone 17 Pro.
The iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max are rumored to continue with a 6.3-inch and 6.9-inch display, respectively, similar to the iPhone 16 Pro Max.
Redesigned the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max to look more modern.
The latest rumors about the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max design include colorful developments and a new frame composition.
Orange is one of the Pro color lineup.
Rumors of a new color for the iPhone started in April, when Twitter user and leaker Majin Bu ( not the Dragon Ball Z character ) posted that the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max could get a albastru ceresc option.  ,
But on July 14, Bu posted that Apple is ditching sky blue for the Pro Models, with only the rumored iPhone Air claiming the hue. Then, on July 17, Bu uploaded a photo of Pro mockups in four colors:  .

Digital blogger Weibo later said , that one of the colors is “related to the liquid glass design of iOS 26”, saying it would be white but with different visual effects depending on which light it was in.  ,
Ca referință, iPhone 16 și Plus au făcut furori anul trecut când au debutat. roz, turcoaz și ultramarin color options, alongside the standard white and black. Along with the popular options for black titanium, white titanium, and black titanium, the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max also came a new color, desert titanium, which is a restrained shade of peach.  ,
The Pro models have traditionally had a more muted color, so the prospect of an orange or glass-inspired color might give the Pro an exciting new look.
Apple logo moving lower
As shown in a Bu postare pe X of an iPhone 17 mockup, the Apple logo on the back of the phone may be moving lower on the Pro models:
iPhone 17 Pro design: logo moves lower.
Why, see this.

The change in location is reportedly coming to make room for the larger camera bump design.  ,
Improved audio quality
The iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max will now have longer earpieces, according to a post on X from , @duanrui1205. In theory, that could signal improved audio clarity. Apple stated at the Conferința Mondială a Dezvoltatorilor that AirPods with H2 chipsets ‘ audio quality would improve as a result of software updates. CNET got to learn firsthand how Apple tests, calibrates and tunes the audio , ( and video ) on an iPhone. An already impressive feature might be enhanced by further enhancements to the audio quality.
More RAM for iPhone 17 lineup
With the iPhone 17 and, it’s likely that Apple Intelligence and AI will play more prominent roles. To support the new features, all the iPhone 17 models will step up to 12GB of RAM, tipster Stație de chat digitală reported in April. According to Tendințe digitale, Koo has also suggested that this might occur.  ,
This might be a significant improvement for the iPhone 17 given that the iPhone 16 lineup had 8GB of RAM available for all models.  ,
Airflow only has aluminum frames for all.
There’s been plenty of discussion about whether the iPhone 17 Pro will ditch its titanium alloy frame for an aluminum one. According to MacRumors, Pu predicted that the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max would all have aluminum frames, or possibly both, to improve durability. The iPhone 17 Air would stick with Apple’s current titanium frame– or possibly a mix of titanium and aluminum.
The question is about the Dynamic Island size.
Pu predicted in May that all iPhone 17 models will use a new metalens technology for the proximity sensor, which could result in a smaller Face ID sensor and Dynamic Island, according to a report by 9to5Mac. Pu’s report contrasts with Kuo, who claimed that the Dynamic Island of the iPhone 17 would remain “largely unchanged” in comparison to the iPhone 16.
Dimensiuni
According to a report by , 9to5Mac , in May, the iPhone 17 Pro line may be thicker, 8.725mm, compared with the iPhone 16 Pro, which clocks in at 8.25mm thick. Potentially, more battery space could be made up for that larger size.  ,
A video of a case for a thicker iPhone 17 Pro model, which was reportedly based on the iPhone 17 Pro’s rumored dimensions, was posted on X  on July 11th.

Performance-enhancing A19 Pro chip
There’s been some back and forth about the chip for the rest of the iPhone 17 lineup, but zvonuri have consistently given the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max the A19 Pro chip.  ,
More recently, MacRumors reported that a Weibo account known as Fixed Focus Digital said the iPhone 17 Air will also come with an A19 Pro chip, like the Pro models. However, the Air would have a 5-core GPU, according to the rumor, while the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max would receive a 6-core GPU. An upgraded GPU could improve graphics and video rendering.
A significant improvement in battery life is possible.
What good is a new phone if it doesn’t last all day, right? According to a Weibo leaker known as Instant Digital, the iPhone 17 Pro Max will have the largest battery ever to be installed in an iPhone, according to a report from MacRumors. However, the site noted Instant Digital’s spotty record with Apple rumors. If the Pro’s dimensions are rumored to be the same as the Pro Max’s, it stands to reason that the Pro could also receive the larger battery.
And Majin Bu posted on July 3 that the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max will feature a vapor chamber cooling system, which could help prevent the bigger battery from overheating.
September is anticipated as the release date for the iPhone 17 Pro.
In the past several years, Apple has consistently announced its new phones on the first Tuesday of September after Labor Day. The first Tuesday is the day after Labor Day in 2025, so the iPhone event’s date could be moved to Wednesday, Sept. 3 or Tuesday, Sept. 9. That would mean a release date of Sept. 12 or 19.
According to Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo and a , raport , from The Information, this is likely to be the case with the entire iPhone 17 lineup, with the exception of the iPhone 17E, which might be available in early 2026.
The iPhone 17 lineup may be the last to follow this fall-release model. Apple reportedly will își împarte lansările de telefoane after the iPhone 18 so that lower-cost iPhones launch in the first half of the year and the higher-end Pro models launch later in the year. But that isn’t expected to happen until 2026 so you can likely still expect the iPhone 17 Pro to become available this fall.
The Friday following the announcement, with the phone expected to arrive a week later, preorders for a new iPhone typically begin. Based on the expected announcement on Sept. 3 or 9, the preorder date could be either Sept. 5 or 12.
Tariffs may cause prices to rise, but there are other factors.
Trump has  , tarife majorate, reduse și suspendate , a dizzying number of times since February, all of which could affect the cost of the iPhone 17 Pro.  ,
Apple, which says it could , mută o mare parte din producția de iPhone din SUA , from China to India, has escaped many of the tariff hikes thanks to a , lista de scutiri tarifare reciproce , that includes many phones, laptops and other electronics that Apple produces.  ,
However, all the , Amânările par a fi temporare , so reciprocal tariffs could still affect prices by the time the iPhone 17 is released.  ,
Trump , threatened Apple with a 25 % tariff , on all iPhones made outside the country in a social media post on May 23. Later that day, he announced that all smartphones, not just iPhones, would be subject to the 25 % tariff by the end of June if they didn’t relocate their operations to the US.
Regardless of how tariffs play out,  , Apple plans to raise iPhone prices , later this year, The Wall Street Journal reported. Apple appears to intend to attribute the price increase to better features and design costs so it can avoid pointing the finger at tariffs and wreak the wrath of Trump ( like Amazon a făcut temporar ).  ,
Holland  makes the point that the iPhone is overdue for a price increase. He noted that Apple has never increased the price for an iPhone Pro ($ 999 ) since the , iPhone X , was first introduced in 2017.  ,
Deci da, ar trebui să te aștepți să plătești mai mult pentru iPhone 17, indiferent de tarife.

Are new iPhone leaks and rumors to be believed?
Here’s the part where I come in and say: Everything’s a rumor until Apple officially releases the next iPhone. Rumors and speculating in the weeks leading up to the release of the iPhone are frequently based on insider information or leaks from engineering teams responsible for the design of the device, but those designs are still works in progress and not necessarily the finished product.
